The 2023 Bank of Ireland Dr McKenna Cup draw will take place tomorrow (13th December) in Cookstown's Glenavon Hotel.
All nine counties will be placed in three groups of three, with one home and away game each.
The top team – and the best runner up – will advance to the semi-finals.
Champions Monaghan are under the management of Vinnie Corey, with beaten finalists Donegal also under new management after Paddy Carr’s appointment.
It will also give Conor Laverty (Down) and Andy McEntee (Antrim) a chance to run their eye over their respective squads ahead of the NFL.
